Come as a visitor... leave as a friend

Paris Greeters are volunteer, passionate ambassadors who warmly receive their visitors from around the world.
They propose walks free of charge in Paris and surrounding districts. Each encounter between a Greeter and his visitor is a unique experience: sharing this world renowned city but also, discovering someone else and a different culture.

It is the occasion to see Paris as it is really known by its locals, to discover neighbourhoods that visitors would not have imagined or dared to visit.
These encounters enable Paris Greeters to achieve its aim: to change the traditional view that tourists have of Parisians and their city..
